Do dental implants need to be washed regularly?

Dental implant is to plant an artificial root on the alveolar bone without teeth, and then install porcelain teeth on the artificial root, and the implant is implanted into the alveolar bone to act as the root, which increases the stability of dentures and can better restore oral masticatory force. so it has the reputation of "the third pair of teeth".

Although implant teeth are dentures, like real teeth, these dentures remain in the mouth for a long time, and at the same time, like real teeth, they can chew and grind food, and real teeth will also be embedded with food leftovers. Dental calculi will occur due to the calcification of food residues and oral saliva. Therefore, real teeth also need to be washed once or twice a year, so as to protect oral health.

Implants are dentures, and dentures are foreign objects, which are not as good as their own natural real teeth, but their status is second only to real teeth, so they should be treated like real teeth.

Similarly, implant teeth not only have the ability to compete with real teeth, but also need to be washed once or twice a year, and regular cleaning of implant teeth can reduce the attachment of food to teeth, and relieve periodontitis and gingival atrophy.

In short, the later maintenance of implant teeth should be more careful than that of real teeth, and the later maintenance and maintenance of implant teeth can also be used for life!
